Raid boss difficulty (generations 1 and 2)
Estimator for the minimal number of players with the best counters at level 30, with "best friends"
boost, and extreme weather. Raid bosses are considered to have their worst attack. All bosses are tier 5
(they have 15000 HP), except Mewtwo which has 22500 HP.
▶
If boss raid has only simple weakness: minimal number of players = floor(Base DEF/80)+1
▶
If boss raid has a double weakness: minimal number of players = floor(Base DEF/108)+1
These formulas do not take the Base ATK into account, that influences the number of deaths and
indirectly the time to defeat the boss.
